## What to fix first
- **Booking only through opentable.** (+9 points) Every transaction an agent makes goes through the marketplace, which takes its commission. Add a direct way on your own site. Even a simple form will do. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/book-direct-on-your-own-website
- **Ordering through an unrecognised third party.** (+9 points) Check that the provider keeps your business as the seller of record. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/online-ordering-without-delivery-apps

## What the site tells visitors (Measured, not scored)
- **6 prices on the landing page, the middle one $18.50.** In Chicago, the middle price of comparable sites that show prices is $12.00.
